Côte Restaurant Exeter

We booked online for our wedding anniversary and had a lovely lunch at the restaurant. The staff and food were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal thank you.

We had an excellent meal. Our starters and main courses, sea bass and pan fried hike was deliciously cooked and served piping hot. We had a complimentary bottle of red wine this time. The service was excellent. The waitresses were very attentive and helpful. We had a wonderful evening. Thank you

Good food for a good price. Staff as always friendly and nothing to much trouble for them

After booking to take my mother for mother’s day lunch, we were very much looking forward to our experience. However, when we entered, we were waiting almost 10 minutes to be greated and then seated at our table. After this things did not get any better. We were almost forgotten about at our table as the service was very slow and our waitress almost seemed annoyed that we were there. The food was great as ever but unfortunately the service really let us down this visit. We do frequent cotes quite often and were excited to take our family but we were lady feeling disappointed. A real shame.

We really enjoyed the wonderful lunch we had today. Our friend who joined us thoroughly enjoyed hers too. No doubt we will visit again very soon. Highly recommended to anyone who appreciated good good and excellent service! The upstairs is rather noisy though. Nevertheless it did not bother us.too much.

We have been to Côte Exeter a few times before and we’re looking forward to another evening there. However, we had a bit of a mixed experience. The positives are, good food and service, and great a view of the Cathedral. But unfortunately there were a couple of negatives, it was so cramped, one of our group had to constantly move his chair to allow the waiting staff and other diners to get through and it was extremely noisy, so much so that we had to talk loudly to be heard above everybody else. I appreciate you need to maximise the space you’ve got, but sacrificing a couple of tables would make a huge difference.

Service very slow, had to ask for first course dishes to be removed . Restaurant was not busy, sat down stairs and the waiters did not have any interest in servicing the few customers that were present.

Beautiful cooked and presented food. We had a free bottle of wine which was lovely, not only because it was free; it was a very smooth wine. Enjoyed the experience very much. Have been many times to Cote and would visit again.

Excellent menu and delicious food. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommended.

Great service, and staff. Lovely breakfast and great choice of options for everyone to choose from. Thank you again Côte will be back for next birthday!

Waited AN HOUR for the food. The Salt Cod Croquettes, Breton Stew, and Roasted Cod are way too salty to the point where you need to drink water every 2 bites. Seafood quality was okay, but the amount of salt in each dish is just ridiculous. Had to wait another 15 minutes just to PAY for the food due to some software issue. Worst meal and service I've had in Exeter, not planning to go back ever again.

Great location, great food, great value for money. I have been on a number of occasions and always have a good experience. I would definitely recommend Côte in Exeter.

Our waitress and others were most helpful in seating six of us as a table for four. We had a lovely meal and shall be back!

Low rating as belly pork was not well cooked. Fat not rendered out and crackling not crisp. Made more acceptable by price being taken from the bill

The service was very good and very fast. The staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was amazing, especially recommend the chocolate fondue for dessert! Thank you.

Always good value. Would hope for a bit more change in the menu, but always enjoy what’s on offer. Never come away unhappy, you must be doing something right.

As always, excellent food and great service at very competitive prices. We are always pleased with the consistency of the services from Cote. We have visited Cote restaurants in various cities in England and have enjoyed the experience in every one of them.

Arranged for a quiet evening meal don't go upstairs if that's what you want its very noisy up there. We asked to move downstairs much better ambiance down there. Apart from that very good service, accommodated dairy free diet well, food good.

Great food and services. Really enjoyed the moules frites and steak frites and the ambience in general. Waiter very friendly. Lovely evening had by all. Thanks

Lovely food as always, staff very friendly and efficient, always very welcoming. For quality and value for money you won’t find a better place in Exeter. See you all next month.

The atmosphere was good and the waiting staff lovely and made a special effort when they found out that someone on our table had a birthday. I think that more staff should be put on in busy periods as it took a while for our drinks order to be taken. Apart from that it was a lovely experience.

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch with my daughter and grandson. Cote is everything that a good restaurant should be - food, service - brilliant! I live down in Cornwall and don't get to go to Exeter too often. This is our second time at Cote, but it certainly won't be the last.

The waiter that served us was amazing. Can’t remember when I last had such a dedicated waiter. Food was delicious. Excellent quality, taste and presentation. Can it recommend this restaurant enough! Clean, friendly staff, excellent food and drinks! Highly recommend

Fab service and food as usual. A great night thank you. We always have a very enjoyable evening at Côte. Really friendly and efficient service

Lovely food, beautiful outlook (Exeter Cathedral) and good service. Thank you.

Lovely as always... excellent food and staff! Sat in the window with the sun shining in looking at the beautiful Exeter Cathedral, with a complimentary birthday drink .

Sadly we were booked for an evening meal, but had to cancel because of our friends illness, so the two of us rebooked for lunch. As always, lovely food, great service and excellent value. The consistency of Cote is extraordinary. we have never been disappointed at any of the many Cote restaurants we have visited. Thank you.

The whole experience was fantastic. I booked way in advance to get a Valentine's Day Table, but a week before someone from the restaurant called up to let me know that they would be doing a set menu. It was great to be kept informed so we didn't turn up expecting something else! The food was amazing as usual and all the staff were really attentive and professional. It was quite noisy but that was just the buzz of the atmosphere, it didn't cause any issues at all. If you want a slightly quieter evening you can always ask to be seated downstairs where it is a bit more chilled.

Food, service and ambiance was exceptional. This visit was a romantic meal for two. I can highly recommend the smoked salmon starter, fillet steak and tarte au citroen.

We had an excellent experience. The food was delicious, perfect portion size and very tasty. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. I requested a window seat which we got.

Always superb service and delicious food! One of the best restaurants in Exeter!

Excellent lunch as always, lovely server. We will be back soon.

Lively atmosphere, and great food. The Tarte citron was fabulous, and the meat excellently cooked. Can also recommend the fish stew, lovely. This is a popular restaurant in Exeter even on a wet rainy weekend mid February we struggled to get a table with a weeks notice. Only negative is that everyone was enjoying themselves so much it was quite loud....

Love this place - quick effortless meal before the theatre - we sat downstairs on Sunday May 5th 6.30ish . Although we had to get to the theatre in an hour ...it never seemed rushed - excellent food, awesome service and love this rhubarb cocktails - thank you

Had a lovely birthday celebration meal. Food was cooked perfectly, waiting staff very attentive but not in your face. We requested a particular table which was reserved for us. Looking forward to our next visit.

Wonderful experience. Perfect for my friend who has a severe nut allergy. Great service.

Highly recommend, great atmosphere and food and very polite staff.

Really great food. Service initially slow and aloof but improved throughout evening. Smiling helpful staff make such a difference. More please. Will certainly return. Thanks.

Lovely experience beautiful food would visit Again , food cooked to perfection and staff excellent Setting by cathedral lovely would be even better when weather warms up

Excellent service, table staff were spot on, a few hickups with orders but waiters could not do enough. Would recomend to anyone. Thankyou Cote for an enjoyable evening.

I enjoyed my main( steak) but my husband did not enjoy his bream. It was bland and could have done with sauce or flavouring of some sort.

Super lunch in lovely surroundings . Staff couldn't have been more helpful, food was delicious and good value. Happy to recommend and hope to visit again soon!

The food was excellent. The service was good but there were not enough waiting staff. My husband had to re choose his starter as it wasn’t available. He chose calamari but choosing in haste, didn’t realise it came with tartar sauce which he can’t eat. He wanted to ask for plain mayo but we couldn’t get anyone’s attention. The potatoes never arrived with my main course, again there was no staff around to ask. Cheese board was fine. When we asked for the bill it took 20 mins to arrive, then after a further 10 mins waiting to pay, I had to go downstairs to pay on our way out. The they had taken my main course & the cheese off the bill (for the service issue) which was a nice gesture but then added the service charge on! Great food, good staff but not enough. Don’t think we’ll go back - shame.

We were greeted by delightful friendly staff on entering . The service and food were both excellent. This restaurant is just wonderful for its food and ambiance.

Wonderful staff, wonderful experience, wonderful food, beautiful setting. Thank you.

It was excellent. Lovely view and surroundings, attentive and helpful staff, delicious food & drink. What more could we want? Fabulous - thank you all!
